Help, wedding outfit desperately required!

Hi everyone, I have a wedding to attend on 8th August and I am desperately in search of an outfit. I stupidly passed on the two dresses below, either of which would have been perfect, when I thought that I would be unable to and now I can't seem to find anything that I like. :wacko: I am looking for something vintage (of course!) but also a little bit different from the run of the mill wedding outfit. I also have a preference for pink, but at this point ANYTHING between 38 28 38 and 40 30 40 would be great. So if anyone has anything that might be suitable / any ideas I would be so grateful if you could pass them along to me. My boyfriend has a full Armani suit and shoes if you please and I have nothing but a pair of earrings!


Emma.

Hi Emma, I have a 1950's prom dress in pink, and a lovely 1960's shift with a nett over dress currently on my website if you wanted to take a look

I've been through a similar experience myself for a wedding I'm attending in a couple of weeks - I found a darling prom dress in baby blue with pink rose buds in the end which I love from the VintageKookie on Ebay.

Good luck!

It even comes with a matching lace jacket :)
 
Hi Emma, did you find anything yet?

I just remembered this dress. Excuse the very rough photos, it has been folded over a hanger and needs to be cleaned and a few minor repairs to the lace. Mostly to unseen areas (inside sleeves etc). I was going to take it in for cleaning and repairs but havent gotten around to it.

Anyway its a sexy illusion dress, side zipper. Very nice rayon? in a gabardine like weave. I believe the lining is silk. Its a dusty plum color with taupe lace. The waist measurement may be more like 32/33 but it could be let in a tad.
